I'm using gphoto2 2.5.2 on Linux (Debian Jessie). My camera is a Canon G9 $ gphoto2 --get-config capturetarget
Label: Capture Target Type: RADIO Current: Internal RAM
Choice: 0 Internal RAM Choice: 1 Memory card
I would have assumed that the default was capture to Memory Card. Now let's try setting it to Memory Card
$ gphoto2 --set-config-value "capturetarget=Memory Card"
$ gphoto2 --get-config capturetarget Label: Capture Target
Type: RADIO Current: Internal RAM
Choice: 0 Internal RAM Choice: 1 Memory card No. It's still set to Internal RAM $ gphoto2 --set-config-value "capturetarget=Internal RAM" $ gphoto2 --get-config capturetarget
Label: Capture Target Type: RADIO
Current: Internal RAM Choice: 0 Internal RAM
Choice: 1 Memory card $ gphoto2 --set-config-index capturetarget=1
$ gphoto2 --get-config capturetarget Label: Capture Target
Type: RADIO Current: Memory card
Choice: 0 Internal RAM Choice: 1 Memory card Ah - that works
$ gphoto2 --set-config-index capturetarget=0 $ gphoto2 --get-config capturetarget
Label: Capture Target Type: RADIO Current: Internal RAM
Choice: 0 Internal RAM Choice: 1 Memory card
And that works as well. I've run the following command with debug and can send the file to anybody who's interested. gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile capture-target.txt \ --get-config capturetarget \ --set-config-value capturetarget="Memory Card" \
--get-config capturetarget
As far as I can tell from the debug file, ghoto2 is setting capturetarget to Memory Card and is then setting it back to Internal RAM. It would be a great help if I could use --set-config-value rather than --set-config-index and I'd love to know if this a bug or if it's caused by something I'm doing wrong.

"Memory card".

Hi,
have you maybe figured out why your camera resets to internal ram? I'm having the same problem, although with a Nikon camera... |

The capturetarget is stored on the computer in the HOME directory of the user, in $HOME/.gphoto/settings Check if this file is there and writeable. Especially in embedded platforms this might not be the case, which would lead to a reset back to SDRAM (the default).
